Story Behind The Song

I was finding NYC hard to get by, but I knew there was a way to make it work - just by changing my perspectives & goals.

Song Description

A lonesome country-rock ballad about overcoming obstacles - going off the beaten path & "taking it underground" as a way to get past life's hardships.

Lyrics

(verse 1)
When you choose your side
make sure you sympathize
with all the lies between the lines
and if you hesitate
show up a little late
that's just the time it takes to hide
(pre-chorus)
but I know we'll find a way to work it out
oh just like we have so many times before
(chorus)
You can't get over, can't go 'round
they keep you down and keep you down
so take it underground
keep you down and keep you down
you can't get over, can't go 'round
take it underground
(verse 2)
I was down one time
I thought that I would die
that's the way things sometimes go
I could not harmonize
I told myself the lie
that I had to let you go
(pre-chorus)
but I know we'll find a way to work it out
oh just like we have so many times before
(chorus)
You can't get over, can't go 'round
they keep you down and keep you down
so take it underground
keep you down and keep you down
you can't get over, can't go 'round
take it underground
(verse 3)
Down on the valley floor
searching for a little more
pieces of gold to bring the queen
but up on the mountaintop
that's where I'm gonna shoot my shot
& listen how long the sound will ring
(pre-chorus)
but I know we'll find a way to work it out
oh just like we have so many times before
(chorus)
You can't get over, can't go 'round
they keep you down and keep you down
so take it underground
keep you down and keep you down
you can't get over, can't go 'round
take it underground
